Current #foodsystems rely on complex #valuechains in which people & animals are often exploited. Policy protections for those affected by value-chain activities are riddled with loopholes. Truly #sustainable diets require reshaping socio-economic systems: https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01048-0

Liberals from #Germany block groundbreaking #EU law. The adoption of the CSDD was just a formality. And it’s time to recognise basic human rights. So this came as a surprise. And not at all? Yet this lobbying has no clear force since many companies called for this change too. It sounds like a strange bid to gain non-existing voters.

New project! I’ve been hired by the New York Tree Crops Alliance (NYTCA) to help their cooperative grow, process, and market hazelnuts and chestnuts.

This article describes several of the goals and aspirations of NYTCA and our partners:

I’ll also be providing products and services complementary to the needs and goals of NYTCA through my business (and NYS certified nursery), #FLXagroforestrysolutions

The new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) was finally approved on 28 November 2022. What does this mean for biodiversity assessments and reporting requirements?

#COP15 on the Convention for Biological Diversity starts today 5 December 2022.

Pakhi Das, Associate Consultant of IBC will be at the conference and here she provides her views on why businesses must step up and get ready for transformations and reinventions of entire upstream/downstream #valuechains.

#Introduction :)

I have broad intersecting interests related to #health, #equity, #resilience, and #sustainability (HERS), esp as emergent properties of communities & #foodsystems

I've worked across F2P #ValueChains, directly & in support. The latter includes support for #Cornell U's public #LandGrant mission at Mann Library

I'm interested in how #SocioTechnicalSystems approaches, co-evolving social & technical capacities, can support #selfdetermined agrifood systems and a #SolidarityEconomy

This is a source of comparative advantage. Natural gas is costly to #trade long distance (literally physics implied trade costs). Trade theory predicts that in this case, exports of natural gas embodied in products expand. This is important in current context as intermediate goods imports can help war-interrupted #valuechains. Market economies can adapt if there are less (stupid) frictions. Which friction is stupid is a question requiring broad societal debate.

there is a big focus within the report on addressing #greenwashing, but each recommendation also reiterates the need for non-state actors to tackle #emissions in #ValueChains, further strengthening moves such as those seen overnight by the UK govt (

#Introduction I am an agrarian sociologist with an interest in the political economy of agrarian change and agriculture in South and SE Asia. My research looks at how rural people experience and navigate agrarian class structures. I'm motivated by the potential of an emancipatory anti-capitalist politics for just agrarian futures. #agrarian #agrarianstudies #ruralsociology #sociology #capitalism #anticapitalist #landgrabbing #livelihoods #agriculture #commoditychains #valuechains

At first glance, our individual actions in our life only have an effect on the immediately visible areas around us. However, anyone who has dealt with #resource flows in #valuechains, knows the negative influence of a #consumption-oriented #lifestyle on people in the global South.

Thus, I encourage everyone to evaluate the impact of his/her own lifestyle and to consider the long way of materials in products of daily life.
